Would program performance indicators and a nationally coordinated response accelerate the elimination of tuberculosis in Canada?
Article in Canadian journal of public health = Revue canadienne de sante publique, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Twenty years ago, a National Consensus Conference on Tuberculosis (TB) recommended that the provinces and territories of Canada jointly declare a commitment to TB elimination with national coordination and assured funding, executed by a committee of federal and provincial/territorial representatives. Canada has committed to the global TB elimination targets set forth by the World Health Organization but lacks a coordinated response. In particular, with the exception of one published and implemented by Indigenous Services Canada, there has been no national monitoring and performance framework. Herein, we provide a commentary on the importance, to TB elimination in Canada, of developing such a framework. We invite a debate about whether more can and should be done to monitor and report for action at every jurisdictional level. Of utmost importance will be the need to achieve consensus from stakeholders about what is measured, among whom, how often, who collects and processes data, and how to respond to the successes and failures those data indicate. Insofar, as performance targets are well defined and implemented, national progress towards tuberculosis elimination should accelerate.
